Blue Solutions: Empowerment through Seaweed in Zanzibar

Blue Solutions: Empowerment through Seaweed in Zanzibar

Blue Solutions video about how seaweed farming empowers women in Zanzibar.
The Blue Solutions video series tells stories about how real people have tackled real problems. Climate change has caused a decline in the productivity of seaweed. This impacts the women of Zanzibar’s coastal communities, many of whom rely on seaweed farming as a main source of income. The Sea PoWer sisters are addressing this by aiding the development of new farming techniques. This has not only brought positive change to the financial situation of the women, but has also given the women a stronger place in their communities.
